Works better than mostodon
Define "better", first.
I've been using Mastodon for about 5 years now, and what I've seen of bsky, is that it's not better: It's centralized, owned by cryptobros, and subject to the exact same problems as twitter is for user safety.
It's usable. Simple.
Mastodon has been usable, and simple, as well.
I signed up for my tildeverse account once they spun up an instance, and I followed people I saw posting. And now, I've collected a fair number of followers and people I follow to see what they say.
Works quite well.
So, what isn't usable or simple?
Lets take football an example. It's not niche, it's quite popular. I searched football on mastadon and couldn't by find more than one post in the timeline of 4 months. That's unusable for regular folk.
I agree with what you are saying. But the regular folk just hate the void. They want more interaction and they see centralization as a feature and not as a problem.
Also in terms of UI, discoverability, content, starter-packs, custom feeds etc are all "better".
People don't care if ads roll out, I'm also surprised. But they don't. Even their reasoning for twitter they state the toxicity and never ads.
